The respect and devotion i r2ifellted in the whole of this religious act, the recollection of ZPitty of the august Monarch from, w . hom it emanated, but ° unhappily did not live to accomplish it, the zeal with which it tarried into effect by his august daughter, every thing was cal `'llted to heighten the compunction which the solemnity itself t l diti to excite in the faithful, and revived the feelings of grief educed by the total effects of impiety in these better times, ma '!l'oted by so many acts of sacrilege, which call for all the acti . . justice agaio.t thole, who Call, conceal these execrable Norm against all law both human and divine. t'xtract from a letter, dated Smyrna, May 20, received this ' 4ll liag :—After noticing the continued piratical acts of Greek , i.44 ers, it observes, that although the Consul and Captain Hamil :tor His Majesty's ihip Cambrian, have evinced, every disposi -44'4 to rem e dy th e g ro w in g e vil of Greek piracies on the personal r .tentation of merchants, it has been deemed right to address fitter to the Consul, which is now in the course of signature merchante, earnestly requesting His Majesty's Ambassador, .., 414 .

I. Ili, 'ere are few people who will be imposed upon by statement in the Morning Herald of this day, ‘‘ the expedition of Captain BARRIE to the cit ,th, will cost JOHN BULL 10,0001. " , but we think fi ght to give such statements an unquaMed con lotion, lest the s il ence w hi c h wou ld b e b es t suited b 4th trash, should be misconstrued into any admis of the truth of the assertion. Those who know tarts of the case, are aware, th at Captain BARRIE 4 native of the neighbourhood o f Preston, and has he sive connections, possessing con s id era bl e l oca l h o u ence, now resident there ; that , he had no 6 lilts of standing for Preston, until solicited 0 so, at the moment of the co mmencement iti the election ; and that he went down in con ette e , without even an intimation to the Go lik con t of his intention to offer himself as a Can. q qa i l e ' Under these the observation s i lo " Morning, Herald are perfectly contemptible, I.le particul a rly too, as it is well known that the 0 1 ,' Nh i !rilinent have ; not at their disposal any funds from 14 :11 expences of tleetioneering c an now, in any ic be defrayed: ' The insinuation, therefore, is as Jkilous as it is false; and is of a-piece with the iiller statement of this wise Journal, in allusion to i t : eOBBETT'S standi n g-f o r Preston, " t h at t h e Mi il4tere have not'llir: years been in such a fright— ,4:sl4 the idea, that a certain person could s p ea k as i, e m i, SS write, and the threat, that one of hi s fi rs t imions would be ' That the Six Acts sh ou ld b e l enied by the hands of the common hangman.'" i „ 4 k.

The only reelings which Ministers til q have had, if COBBETT had been returned, 4 , , tia . ve been those which such an:ev.ent would 1 1 ! th ,7xcit e d in the mind 'Of every right thinking person =,olll'eeountry—namely, regiet that any English town 1 p ri l !lave been 'debased. enough to elect such an licipled man as CORBETT, and that the House of Commons should be so far degraded as, to be sub jected to his presence. These feelings will be happily spared by the result of the election, and COBBETT may resume, his occupation without an enlivening hope of ever becoming a Member of the Senate, which he has so frequently and so shamefully vilified and abused. We beg to call the attention of our readers to the efficacy of the Laws of Honour, in preventing ungentlemanlike conduct, as at present exemplified Preston and Ilchester. Some short,time since, we en deavoured to point out the absurdity and inconsistency of that code, and at the same time to state our opinion of its utter inutility. We think the advocates for the system are bound to prove (rather a difficult task) that if there were no such laws, more offensive and more ungentlemanlike language would have been used. It is clear that they do not prevent it altortether, and we should like to know how much worse the language could have been in a barbarous country where this enlightened code was unknown. The fact is, they are too absurd to be always in force, and there are such frequent suspensions of them, that it is difficult to say which is the rule and which are the exceptions. Were they in constant opera tion—standing a contest on the Hustings might expose a man's life to Jmore risks than the Battle of Waterloo ! And yet we cannot possibly see how a man's honour can be sullied by an insult on one occasion, and not on another. A rogue may be annoyed by jests about., honesty, and a liar by talking of long bows, &c. but an upright, manly, and honourable person, will continue so, whoever may be fool or knave enough to vilify his unsullied character.

Extract from Monday's Observer, which is regu larly published ever Monday afternoon, at four o'clock, at No. 169, Strand, London : " We have to acknowledge the receipt of several letters from different parts of the country during the last week, complaining of the substitution of other Weekly Papers for the Monday -edi tion of The Observer. It may be proper to state that Th. Observer is sever supplied from our own Office, but from News Agents. We are aware of the unworthy motive which has led to the impudent substitution described, and can only recommend, that those persona who have been go grossly imposeo upon will change their Agents, and, of course, 'decline paying for Papers which they have not ordered, and which have been attempted to he forced upon them for sinister, if pot nudicio" P ui l /Gus* As the subject will be sub m i tte d to the decision o f a C our t pf Jus tice, coun'tn we shall refrain from being mo re explicit at prssent."-r—June, 26 ' Our letters from th e ve st as most unpromising. i it is remarked , wer e never so deficient of st r a w .

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY.,—(Tins DAY.) IN PITY MATTER OF SIR ORECORY PALM TURNER, A LUNATIC' The Loan CH.INCRLLOR was to-day again detained. in his pri vate room till ,ionsiderablY past I I O'clock, by a (14 . 6enssion of this never-ending affair. An- obser4r remarked, that all parties con cerned must be lunatics, otherwke the thing would have been finally settled long before now. IX-PARTS ROBIRTS, IN Wal/I MATPIER OF HOIiERTIf A 'IIAHICRUPT. His Logosirii.'said - he had read over carefully all the affidavits In this matter, and he thought there was enough to satisfy his mind that the thing would be best disposed of by a trial. Mr. Martz observed that there was a trial now pending in the matter against the auctioneer, but he was not sufficiently acquaint ed with that action to be able to say, whether the point raised here Could also be tried in it. , • , Mr.' WAKEFIELD, contra, said, notice had been given that the act of bankruptcy was to be' disputed. His LORDSHIP was of opinion that the action now pending could try every question. His Lordship finally ordered the peti tion to stand over till after the trial, and that the brewer who had taken out the commission should undertake to prove on the trial the trading, the act of bankruptcy, and the petitioning creditor's debt. The latter to be proved in a way that would include the petitioning creditor's debt, described as in the docket paper. BUCK V. *TAM. His LORDSHIP had been engagedindrewing up minute* of the order in this ease, which he hoped to hays ready for delivery to morrow. They required much accuracy, and had taken a consi derable time in drawing up. SKINNER'S COUPANY CHARITY. Mr. Honws requested liberty to mentio; this matter. He did riot mean to encroach on the order of the Court, that it would suffer nothing to interrupt the appeals, but to solicit it's indul gence in appointing some early time to hear it. The question for the Court's opinion related to certain buildings at Tunbridge, the further erection and completion of which were stopped, until his Lordships order was pronounced. Mr. HART, on the other side; considered the point exceedingly short ; it arose on the construction of an instrument, and was whether certain lauds belonged to a charity school. The principal point in the cause had been disposed of. His LORDSHIP would not allow the appeals to be delayed, but if the Counsel would mention it to him on Thursday morning, he would name an early hour, some morning, to hear it. Counsel thanked his Lordship, and said they would do so. The appeals then proceeded. COURT OF KING'S BENCH.—(Tms DAT.) SMITH DICK.INS. Mr. Jowsc opened the pleadings--Mr. Scaat.m stated the case. This was an action brought by the plaintiff; a piano-forte maker, to recover damages from the defendant (an Attorney) for a wanton and malicious arrest. It appeared that the plaintiff had become surety for a sheriff's officer, named Jervis, and had also lent him 6001., whereby he was indeed to become a partner in his business, but finding the profits inadequate to his expectation, he resolved to break off the connexion, and accordingly he filed a Bill in Chancery against Jervis. On this occasion Dickins ccted as Solicitor to Jervis. The matter terminated in Jervis's asaign ing over to the Plaintiff all the Claims that Smith and Jervis had on others persons, until the debt should be paid; whereupon Dickins claimed from Smith 251. being his costs in the suit.— This being denied, he said he would arrest Smith, and serve him out; and accordingly he held him to bail for 401.—When the trial came on, the subject was referred to the Master, who re ported, that Dickins had no claim on Jervis. Mr. DENMAN, on behalf of the defendant, told the jury that they should not be influenced in their verdict by the result of the action, which arose from the arrest. If the defendant had pro bable cause, he was sufficiently warranted in the steps he had taken. He had, throughout' the negociation, claimed this money as due, from which it was evident that he thought himself 'en titled to it. No evidence being offered on behalf of the defendant, the LORD Cull? Jrrwricx briefly summed up the evidence. The jury returned a verdict for the plaiutiff—Damagee 70/. COURT OF COMMON' PLEAS—(Tius DAr.) FULD V. CROWD/R AND KELLY. This was an action of trover to recover .from. the defendants, Sheriffs of London, the - amount of tome property of the plaintiff, which they had 'wrongfully Seized under an execution. It ap. peared that the plaintiff lived at Barnett, and that he came to town in March last with two loads of hay ; he afterwards loaded his carts with 18 bags of coals, and ou his return home the holies, carts, and coals, estimated at 80/., were seized louder an execution for 181., against a person of the tom.. of Prottwato, whom the plaintiff in the ecknit4B, ionigined to le in partnership with Field; The Sheriff's Officer who seised the goods proved the seizure and sale : he said that they were pointed out to him as the pro perty of Freeman ; that one of the carts had Field's name on it, and the other nu name on it. sieeral other witnesses swore that the property belonged to Field exclusively, and that Freeman was not iu partnership with him. For the defendant, an ineffectual attempt was made to prove a partnership. The Oilier Justy). told the Jury that the plaintiff was en titled to the verdict ; but, as the conthict of the Sheriff was not oppressive, they should only giv e the exact amount of the goods seized. Verdict for the plaintiff--Dainages, 82/. , , OLD BAILEY---(Tuis DAY.) John Ochenden, a watchman, was indicted for the wilful murder of William Dalton, of Red Lion-court, Minuries, by striking him .violently with a stick on various parts of the body, on the night of the 17th June last. It appeared by the evidence that the prisoner is a watchman; That a cry of murder was heard on the night in question pro ceeding from the deceased's house ; that the prisoner, on going there, found deceased, his wife, and two men, quarrelling in the passage ; Mrs. Dalton gave the prisoner charge of all the men, telling him to take , all the vagabonds out of the house; one of the men was a lodger, and the other his Mend ; the latter insisted ou go i ng into the house in opposition to Mrs. Dalton ; they. all appeared to have been drinking, the prisoner pulled the strange man ten or twelve yards from the house. The deceased came up to him and struck him with his fist, and in struggling they all fell together. The deceased was. the most violent of the party, before the struggle, he had pulled off his coat and swore that lie would fight somebody. The prisoner endeavoured in vain to pacify him. On getting up the prisoner was very much incensed, and on the deceased saying something to him replied, that he would flour him, and instantly struck hint on the legs with his stick. Deceased fell, and the prisoner struck him again on the stomach, and on his getting up took him to the Watchhouse. but, on his complaining of an injury in the bowels, he was allow ad to return home; he died on the Monday following. The sur geon who attended him stated, that on examination after death, he found the deceased had suffered a levee rupture; his death might have been caused by a fall, but it was, in his opinion, by a blow. The prisoner, in his defence, stated that he had been wounded in the head in fighting for his country; he had been drinking, and his head was snitch affected. He was endeavouring to do hie duty When he was vi o l en tly s t ruc k by deceased, and he lost all command of himself; but he shotild not have used violence if they had not struck him. He called several witnesses, who gave Jury, observed, th a t it ap -' him a T ' he g ß o°d u itcot r z a i c t, tit in for ch h a u r lan g n ing itY. the . peered the prisoner was doing his duty when he was first struck; but it was for them to say, whether they considered the blow to have been given in malice. if so, they were bound to find the prisoner guilty ; but if they thought otherwise, it would be their duty to acquit him—J.-Verdict—Not Guilty. John "West was found Guilty of an attempt to break into the shop of William Moon, a jeweller, in High Holborn. He was sentenced to be whipped, and confined two years in the H olum o f Correction.

WINDSOR, JUNE 24.—Windsor perhaps, never presented, except on particular public occasions, so brilliant display as it does at present. The resi4nce of the Sovereign will always prove a certaM attraction, but even that stimulus does not enable us to account for the great influx of visitors during the past week. The generosity and i n d u l gence o f hi s M a j esty i n allowing free access to the public, as far as is compati ble with the necessary progress of the works, to the Castle, the State apartments which are open daily, St. George's chapel, with the splendid monuments to the memory of the late Princess Charlotte, are doubt less conducive to the great influx we experience ; but, be the cause what it may, the town has seldom been so crowded as it is at present. The account of the Duke of York's health yester day was, that His Royal Highness was much better. The Royal Duke was visited yesterday, at Mr. Green wood's villa at Old Brompton, by his sister, the Prin cess Augusta. His. Royal Highness took an airing about five o'clock on Sunday afternoon, in the grounds &c. adjacent to the-villa, in his close carriage, for about an hour. Sir Henry HaWord and Sir. James M'Gregor attended his Royal Highness, as usual, on Sunday. The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester entertained the Princess Augusta and a select party to dinner on Sunday, at their residence in Park-lane. The Prin. cess Sophia joined the party in the evening. , BRIGHTON, JUNE 25.—There is no change what soever at the Pavilion. Mr. Secretary and Mrs. Canning are continuing their sojourn on Pavilion Parade. Mrs. Canning, I have much pleasure in stating, appears to derive benefit from drinking the mineral waters at the German Spa. Mr. Canning is in good health. Mr. Curteis has been here for many days past, on a visit to his brother-in-law, Mr. Luxford, on the Steyne. Mr. Curieis had an interview with Mr. Can ning on Friday. Lord 13rudenell has returned to his Regiment here, the Bth Hussars. Lord William Russell, the Lieu tenant-Colonel of the said corps, for a short absence, has left us, during which the command devolves on Lord Wiltshire. Lord Hill has prolonged his stay at the Marine Hotel. Lord Mount Sanford has removed thence, for town ; and Colonel and Mrs. Parker for Pet- worth. Mr. and Lady Hope Vere left the Royal York Hotel, this morning, for Worthing. Sir Godfrey Webster was here from Chichester on Friday evening, and produced some trifling commotion in the town. A large posse of special constables, however, were presently on duty ; but I have the hap- piness to state that none were needed. Tax O'CLOCK, P.. hL T —Sir Godfrey Webster ar rived at the Royal. York Hotel, about six o'clock. He came in from Lewes, in his travelling coach, but having turned the angle of the New Road, down North -street, into Castle-square, one of the leaders, owing to fatigue, fell. The, horses then, in an instant, were taken from . the carriage by the surrounding multitude, and the Baronet was drawn by the eople, amidst the loudest acclamations, to the Royal lark Hotel, where he con tinued until about half an hour since, and then set off for Bognor._ Sir tlodfrey's yaelt, with a number of Freeholders on board, brought to in front of this town, at three P.M., continued there about an hour, and then made sail for Bogiwr, there to land her passengers, on theii 'way to Chtellester. .'6 Dispatches were sent off' on Saturday &mu the Foreign Office, to Sir Charles Stuart at Buenos Ayres. Mr. Huskisson arrived in town from Liverpool, and transacted business yesterday with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, at his - residence in Downing-street. On Saturday morning, at half-past ten o'clock, the Members of his Majesty's most honourable .Privy COuncil, had a meeting . at. the Council Office. There were present Lord Gifford, Lord Colchester, and the Right Hon. Sir George Rose. Their Lordships were occupied till' about four o'clock, hearing Plantation Appeals. - We understand a change has taken lace in the ' .Management of Covent-garden Theatre, which is now vested in Charles Kemble, Esq., John Fawcett, Es 9., and Sir George Smart. The musical department is, we hear, wholly committed to the care of the latter.— News. It was said of a man who died in his bed, notwith standing his having borne a very dubious character,—' " I never should' have thought that he would have quitted this world in an horizontal position." A SLIGHT ACCIDENT.—On Monday a entle man named Hoggins, returning to town over Putney Bridge, 'fell down and broke his neck, but luckily re ceived no other damage. A very reprobate priest, doing duty for a friend, found great difficulty in putting on the surplice : and bestow ing many hearty anathemas upon this awkward gar ment, he swore at last that he thought " the devil was in it." " I thinks as haw le be, Sir," said the clerk, as soon as he saw him completely habited. Dr. Soams, Master of Peterhouse, Cambridge, towards the close of the 16th century, deprived the College over which he presided of a handsome estate, by his whimsical perverseness ;—Mary, the widow of Thomas Ramsay, Lord Mayor of London, in 1577, after conferring several favours on that foundation, offered to settle 500/. per annum on the house, pro vided that it might be called " The College of Peter and Mary."---" No," said the capricious Master, " Peter, who has lived so long single, is too old now for a female partner." The lady, disgusted at the Doctor's scruple, turned the stream of her benevolence to other foundations. _ A PLEDGE I—A case was decided in the Sheriff Small Debt Court, Cupar, on Tuesclay, which excited some merriment. A countryman from Burnturk pre ferred a complaint against a young woman from the same quarter, for not delivering to him a watch of which he claimed the ownership, and which she had refused to . giye up.—The girl, being interrogated how she came into possession of the watch, averred that the pursuer had given it to her as a pledge that he would marry her; and if he did not he way to forfeit all r i g ht to the watch?

TATTERSALL'S, Juwr 26, There was a very good show of subscribers yesterday afternoon, and coins brisk general betting took place, and continued till near six o'clock, when the room closed. Mr. Wyndham's horse seems to be thought highly of, as he is placed as decidedly first favourite. Lord Jersey's Marneluke, for the earns (July) Stakes, it is thought will not start-100 to 1 was laid. For the St. Leger, if we except the circumstance of Crusader heading The Dragon, the alterations are trivial; these two horses. are now in Yorkshire, and it is said they have had a trial to the advantage of Crusader. Some heavy betting took place on the Great Gloucestershire Stakes at Cheltenham, and the Gold Cup at Preston (races of great i►nportance), at the following odds:— JULY STAKYS, NRWMARICSCT. 7 to 2 agst Cricketter 7 to 1 agst General Grosvenor 5 to 1 agst Crotchet 10 to 1 agst Intruder Si to 1 agst Amadis CLOUCESTERS' 4 to 1 apt Euphrates (taken) 4 to 1 agtt Whittington (taken) 10 to 1 ags ARYSTC 6 to 4 agst Longwaist, p.p.

On Saturday the Union Pigeon Club had their usual shooting match, at the Red House, Battersea, when every member shot from seven to ten of his twelve birds. All the guns (with the exception of Mr. Sboebridge's) were made by Alden and Smith, from Manton's.. The day's sport was concluded by a dinner. • On, the same day, a similar match took place between Mr. Os baldistone and Captain Ross. The distance was 30 yards from the trap, and was won by. Captain . Ross. To-morrow and Thursday a grand match will take place be tween Mr. Osbaldiston and Captain Rots, for 6001. a side, two birds in a trap, and to shoot with double guns. TURNATP BETWEEN WARD AND SAMPSON. These fistic heroes, who have twice met in the prize ring, to the Satire advantage of Jem Ward, recently set out on a sparring tour, agreeing to divide the fruits arising from the display of their joint talents. On their arrival at Norwich, however, some mis understanding arose on the division of the spoil. Not being able to adjust their differences in " a gentlemanly sort of a way," as Scroggins would have it, they agreed, most imprudently, we think, on the part of Sampson, to submit the matter to the ancient teat of " a trial by boatel," and armed, not with sand bags, but with the more modern invention of mu f fles, the quarrel was brought to issue on Friday evening last, in the said town of Norwich. The intention soon got wind, and, of course, the amateurs mustered in strong force to witness the contest, increasing by their avidity ; for, of course, their curiosity could only be gratified at the ex pence of a handsome tip—the stake which was to be the reward of the best man. I To the London Ring, the member► of which are so well ac quainted with the merits of the two men, there would have been nothing of novelty in the display, but to the yoltetr, it was a tip• top treat. Had Kean and Young been sustaining the characteru of Otlidlo.sul Jaw, greater delight could not have been afforded , Tell determined rounds were fought, in which as much mischief was done as in many of those fight► which have cost a hundred miles trot to witness. The superiority of Ward was, however, conspicuous throughout. He met Sampson's tierce ruche► with coolness and scientific precision, drew his cork, slid floored him in every assault. Sampson succeeded in planting *owe heavy facers, end was even with Ward in the claret way ; but still he was over matched ; and although he proved himself no mean op ponent, he was constrained, as he had been before, to " knock under" to one, who may fairly be pronounced, the most scow:. plished boxer of the age. We have not heard that this difference has produced a dissidu tion of partnership, and we have only to hope that in future their tour may be conducted upon more friendly terms. Three customers are waiting for Ward's return to town, amoug whom we believe White Headed Bob ranks foremost. There is also a claimant for his favours coining from Brighton. named Hudson (a relation to Josh.), who stands high among the pro vincials. The derivation of the word helter-skelter is evi dently to be found in the Latin words Hilariter, Celeriter. HAYTI.—The populatiom of the whole island of Hayti amounts to 935,365 persons of all colours. In the (for• tnerly) French part of the, island there are 12,000 whites, 87,000 mulattoes, and 600,000 negro,' ; in the Spanish part, 60,000 whites. The regular well-disciplined army consists of 45,000 ; and the national militia of from 100,000 to 110,000 men. AN ZARLY MISER.—....A short time since, a person, apparently of the better description of farming men, called at the house of a labourer residing at Paddam's Green, near Moutitnesi. ing, and enquired for lodging, stating, that he had been after work, and let himself till Michaelmas, to Mr. Foakes, of Mount. neesing Hall, and to induce belief, related a long Conversation which passed between him and that gentleman. The impostor unsuspectingly admitted, and on retiring to bed desired another lodger to colt him at three o'clock in the morning, who, in ap— proaching the room to comply with that request, discovered that the new inmate was an earlier riser than bad been suspected; the thief, as he proved to be, had descended the stairs and titled the pockets of the poor man who slept Below, and who was deaf, of thirty-five shillings, some half-pencet and a silver watch ; the vil lain also helped himself to a loaf of bread and two pounds of beef, with which he decamped, and hal not since been heard of. Upon inquiry, it turns out that the contract which he stated to hive en tered into with Mr. Foakes, was a vile fabrication. SHOCKING INHUMANITY.—II6IIIIII6OII having on Monday last been received by the Parish Officers of Parties, that a child belonging to a person in Iron's -court, Pnrtsea, was kept in a garret, is the most wretched s t ate o f emaciation, arising from deprivation o load and uncleanliness, the Officers went to the house, and after some hesitation shown by the inhuman parent, they were permitted to see the child, who they found in a sort of closet or inner -room, lying upon a few shavings, on a stump bed stead, and covered over with a piece of old blanketing, upon re moving which, such a spectacle presented itself, as to strike the persons present with horror ; the child (a boy shout ten years of age) was wore down to the bone, his limbs connected, asked, and covered with filth, in which state he must have been permitted to remain for a consid era bl e time. lie could not emit, and appeared to be in a st a t e o f idi ot i sm. The Officer* caused him to be im mediately r emove d to the Poor-how, mince which he has some what recov e r e d.
